Being able to work in the Huon alley means a lot to me. This is where I live, this is where I love and now this is where I get to work. I have spent the last few years honing and refining my skills having worked alongside incredible massage and manual therapists who I continually draw invaluable knowledge and inspiration from. With each person I meet and each body I treat comes further growth and expansion within my work and ongoing practice.
It is without saying an absolute privilege to work and provide my expertise to the members of my community. Therapeutic touch is a beautiful way to help in the healing flight of the physical body as well as mental and spiritual selves. I believe that massage can be an integral part in ones journey to recovery on multiple levels from physical ailments to mental blockages, past trauma or simply aiding in general body maintenance. Some of my clients have experienced both physical and emotional releases, wider range of movement, relief from chronic or acute pain, stronger body/mind connection and often a renewed sense of self.
My goal is to meet you and your body with care and compassion as we work together to tap into your bodies full potential.

As a massage therapist, I believe in empowering your body's inherent ability to heal itself. My role is to support you in unwinding, restoring balance, posture, vitality, and regulation of the nervous system. I approach the body holistically, addressing specific muscle tension while creating a safe environment for relaxation and mind-body connection. Drawing from various techniques, including remedial, deep tissue, Swedish, Balinese, trigger point, stretching and acupressure.
My interests vary from pain management, injury rehabilitation, deep relaxation, seniors, to expecting and new mothers. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care, welcoming clients of all ages, abilities, backgrounds, and identities. My treatments are adaptive, and I strive to honour your unique needs and life experience.
My own journey with chronic pain, adrenal fatigue, and digestion imbalance has fostered empathy and curiosity about the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. Bodywork has been a vital part of my own healing, which has led me to where I am today. I have many established relationships with local holistic practitioners, from physical and nutritional to emotional and energetic. I am eager to connect clients with the valley's wealth of knowledge.
I am committed to ongoing education; my practice is continually deepening and refining to provide the best possible care for my clients. This work is truly rewarding, and Iām so excited to share it with my community!
